1 can La Preferida Chick Peas (15 oz.)

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 small onion, diced

6 cups water

2 cups kale, rinsed

1 cup croutons

3 Tbsp. La Preferida Olive Oil

Ingredients: Seasonings

½ Tbsp. paprika

½ Tbsp. oregano

¼ Tbsp. pepper

¼ Tbsp. cumin

¼ Tbsp. salt

¼ Tbsp. garlic powder

Method

First, sort and rinse lentils.

In a stock pot, heat olive oil and add onion, bell peppers, and garlic, and cook for approximately 5 minutes — don’t let the garlic burn! Add lentils and stir for 1 minute, then add 6 cups of water and allow lentils to cook for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, add chick peas, seasonings, and kale, and cover and let simmer for 5 minutes. When ready to serve, garnish with croutons.
